Houston Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycles can be a great way to commute on Houston's busy streets and have become the go-to form of transportation for thousands of people. As easy as motorcycles can be in cutting down travel time and gas money, motorcycles can also be incredibly dangerous to riders. With very little between the pavement, car or object other than the clothes and helmet that they may be wearing, motorcycle accidents can be catastrophic. Crash victims often suffer from broken bones, road rash, head and brain trauma, paralysis and sometimes death.

Injuries and Damages Suffered By Riders

More fatal accidents occur on motorcycles than any other type of vehicle. In a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, over 5,000 fatal crashes occurred in 2008 alone. Riders that are not injured, often require hospitalization for their injuries and can face high medical costs, long-term recovery, repairs to their motorcycle and psychological damage. While most accidents are single-rider accidents, there are plenty of collisions that occur between a motorcycle and a negligent driver and if you have been injured because of another driver, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries.
